The Foote School • New Haven, Connecticut |
||
|
|
||
|
This wonderful secondary school has served the greater New Haven Community for decades. It is recognized as one of the finest opportunities a youngster can have to face the challenge of a heightened learning experience and, after a full day at school, still go home for dinner. |
||
| Expansion of its physical plant became an imperative in the early nineties. First amongst the targets for expansion were the library and lower grade classrooms. The library project was a particularly challenging undertaking. Architect Eric Epstein saw the opportunity to preserve the logistical flow of the campus by extending the profile of the existing library out to new dimension. Working in close coordination with Jay Cox, Foote's facilities manager, and in tight quarters during active school days required a special level of sensitivity from Giordano's team. The level of success achieved is best exemplified by a visit to the school. It speaks for itself. | ||
